Going back to 1991 I trained with my third guide dog, her name was Greeta she 
was the naughtiest  guide dog I had ever come across she used to be like the 
one I have now for escaping from the garden but of course there were other 
things as well, in those days we used to go to Cliffden quite a lot and we took 
Greeta down there not long after I got her,she used to want to play every night 
at midnight, the only night this did not happen was the night she got drunk, 
one of the guests spilled his pint of larger over his dog and of course on the 
carpet,they mopped it up the best they could but Greeta had other ideas, she 
licked the dog all over and also the carpet, by the time we went too bed she 
was staggering and I had to practically carry her up the stairs to the night 
run,when we got back to our room she flopped on her bed and snored all night, a 
few days later we were on the beach not far from the lighthouse and she decided 
to swim out to a buoy  in the middle of the river,anyway she found she could 
not move it so she swam back and Lofty told me and George the other guest who 
was with us to take the dogs on the grass at the top to let them run the water 
off so we could go and have coffee, he had to stop to pick up after Greeta and 
didn't realize there was a bowls match in progress about thirty yards away, 
before we could do anything about it she ran off jumped a five foot fence as if 
it was not there then ran across the green scooped up the wood that was 
travelling across the green and dropped it by the jack of the other team, Lofty 
ran to get her back and was asked what the dog's name was as they had to 
re-start the match as it was the ladies Devon County trials, we told them that 
her name was Greeta but we call her Grot bags as she was so naughty, she also 
used to have a go at other dogs, and one day when were at the Dorset  steam 
rally she was being held by someone who could see when dogs were coming and 
could correct her, he handed her back to me and I sat in front of the 
exhibition    unit that was used for fund raising, I was on a plastic chair 
with dog in one hand and collecting box in the other, suddenly a dog came past 
and Greeta took off I shot through the air still holding on to her and landed 
spread eagled on the ground with the chair on top of me still holding 
collecting box and dog, I was not hurt but my pride was a bit dented, needless 
to say things had to happen after that,but she did have some nice ways about 
her too,if she wanted me to play with her she would take my wrist very gently 
and lead me to the toy she wanted to play with and put my hand on it, which was 
rather sweet,
